Porsche's have a premium reputation while being somewhat relible..or very reliable in my experience.....Ferrari on the other hand not so much.

Now, as to the 355. I'm certainly no expert, but I've seen quoted 0-60 times of around 5.3 seconds. Nice car, and it's a Ferrari, but it'd get it's clocked cleaned by a 2006 Boxster S. So, in the end you'd just be paying for prestige. Now the 360 is a whole 'nother story....

I am not sure where you got the info but ......
Performance wise 355 and 360 are very close....
355 clocks at 4.5sec. 0 to 60.... and about 185Mph top speed.
I assure you there is not Boxster 06 or even 07 ( not boosted up ) that can even be close.
I have a Boxster S, which i truly love, and i used to own a Ferrari 328GTS in the past, i drove the 355F1 several times, i know what i am talking about.
Anyway, all of you guys are right when you talk about driving daily.
Ferraris are not daily driving cars... and very expensive to mantain.
A blast and a privilege to own one.... simply fantastic.
